Well, The elven traders when they come to my fortress, they always have gnomeblight. Me, having an excess of jewels, which traders friggin love.  So, with the most recent caravan I bought all of it, five barrels for about 1050 each. (I also bought a few cages with monkeys in them, which these elf traders commonly come with as well) so, anybody else have traders with bizarre items they always bring? (also, does this excess of gnomeblight provide any practicality at all?)

[proxn_punkd]

In answer to your latter question, nope, not currently useful.

[Sphalerite]

I frequently have traders show up with barrels of assorted animal blood.  I modded DF to make blood a usable ingredient in cooking, so my dwarves get blood sausage.

The humans also sometimes bring barrels of 'liquid'.  Not any particular type of liquid, just barrels of 'liquid'.  This doesn't seem to be usable for anything.

Lots of traders have brought this strange substance called "milk". Apparently I'm supposed to drink it, but it doesn't taste like booze at all!

[Akura]

Milk is supposed to be edible, I think. Or just put that damn High Master Cheesemaker to work.

As for barrels of liquid, might bug caused by messing with raws.

[Loud Whispers]

A recurring one was saguaro rib wood flutes and trumpets, from the elves, and the humans. I like to imagine they were visited by an epic sax dorf

Gnomeblight. dump into hole. Throw in gnome. Watch gnome melt.

[GrizzleBridges]

Yeah, my eleven neighbours keep bringing cool animals. I now have 3 tame giant scorpions defending the pit under my entrance traps.
Last time they brought a caged tigerman bone doctor too, so I bought him and now he wonders around my fort keeping to himself.

That doesn't sound suspicious at all.

It needs modding/altering to Barrel of "Liquid"

[Deus Machina]

It's probably ichor, affected by your mods to blood in general.

I was banging my head because my latest caravan brought like 40 barrels of blood, no booze.

They were obviously getting ready for the vampire arc

Hm. Gnomeblight is usable, if you know where and how to deploy it.

[Reudh]

I've had the humans bring 'Llama n/a' in a barrel before.

Sure, but how do you deploy it?
Barrels, vials, and pottery never break from dropping at any height.
Even when I mark the liquid as dump, and the barrel not, or the other way around, no one ever dumps it on the floor.
